Unboxing and hands on with the HTC Windows Phone 8X
With Microsoft officially kicking off the Windows Phone 8 goodness tonight it just so happens that we have had in our possession for a few days the first of two new Windows Phone 8 devices from HTC – the 8X.
This has been my first time spent with WP8 and as I have owned a couple of WP7 handsets (and still do) it has been a breath of fresh air to get hold of this latest offering from HTC. However, I don’t think the OS build on our 8X is final and I’m hoping for some extra surprises from Microsoft tonight. As an example – Skype is not not currently available to download to the 8X even though it has been working on 7.5 for some months now.
It has been great though being able to resize the live tiles and select a few new extra colours. You can see our initial impressions and unboxing below but I think we will reserve final judgment for a little while longer. Give us some time to see if we get a further updates after the Microsoft press event and then we will be more than happy to compare Windows Phone 8 with the other smartphone options available as well as a future one – we are not forgetting BlackBerry 10.
HTC Desire X unboxing and hands on video
The HTC Desire X may not be top of the range but looking at its specs, size and taking into consideration its price I think it will probably be a pretty popular device. Running Android Ice Cream Sandwich, with a nice 4 inch super LCD display and coupled with HTC’s Sense UI the Desire X will just feel like a natural progression for many folk that are looking to upgrade but don’t need the all singing/all dancing massive high end smartphone.
This video clearly isn’t a retail packaged one but this is normally the case when we get our first review devices from HTC direct. If we do get our hands on a retail one we will of course bring you a short and sweet video of that one too so you can see what you will be getting with your purchase.
You can check out the video below along with the HTC Desire X full specifications:
Asus Padfone 2
Just a few scant months after their first iteration, Asus officially announces the PadFone 2. We knew it was coming. There was too much leaked info over the past few months for any other outcome. Now the Padfone 2 is official and it really looks like Asus is trying to perfect this beast. (For those who missed this, the Padfone 2 is an Android Smartphone & Android Tablet Docking Hybrid.)
Could they have finally found the right formula, and is the time ripe for a combo product like this one? The specs are quite amazing actually, but only time, and sales numbers, will provide the answer. Here’s the breakdown on the new device, followed by a press release below.
Archos GamePad video debut
We have recently been treated to an exciting collection of videos for Archos’ new GamePad, a 7" tablet that favours gaming over all else. Running Ice Cream Sandwich and a fairly ingenious method of binding hardware keys to on screen functions Archos are taking steps into untested waters with this device that is likely to shift a good few units, especially at the proposed price of less than ?150! The idea of having hardware buttons rather than relying on Touchscreen will obviously be attractive to many.
It’s got a 1024×600 capacitive touch screen but more importantly for gaming, it’s got game controller buttons on each side of the screen. This device runs on the Rockchip RK3066 dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with the quad-core Mali-400MP4 GPU.
Of course No. 1 Archos Fanboy Charbax got a bit of time with it. You can see the videos below:
Hands on with the Sony VAIO Duo 11
I’m a Mac user and very happy to be one. However I had the chance to use Sony’s new VAIO Duo 11 yesterday running Windows 8 and I was actually pretty impressed. Costing about a thousand pounds I couldn’t justify spending the money myself but for business users this thing may well rock.
The VAIO Duo 11 is half tablet – half laptop. With a 11.6 inch HD screen and full QWERTY keyboard it really is a beauty. But slide the keyboard away and you have a nice big tablet which will certainly appeal to some. Weighing in at 1.3KG it isn’t the lightest tablet but combined with the keyboard it is a nice portable solution. With ports galore – D-SUB and HDMI outputs, twin USB 3 ports, Ethernet and an SD card reader the Duo 11 may well be your new best business buddy.
You can check out the video below we would love to hear your thoughts in the forum. Would you buy this or a nice MacBook?
